Suns in the Media - Part I

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

As a person or as a recruiter?

As a recruiter. I've heard him speak numerous times he says good stuff.

Gold Coast’s season doesn’t earn pass mark as forward’s future questioned

“At what point are they going to get that and jump to that level?”

Kane usually has some good realistic takes but this isn't one. It is literally the best season of our existence.

As for Sexton just listen to Dew is the post match about him. He had injuries during the pre season and then got covid during the season which saw him in and out of the VFL side. He also kicked 6 goals against North Melbourne, after half time is was very clear the suns where targeting him inside 50 at all cost.

As I've said on here almost every journo had the suns in the bottom 4 pre season after King went down. The fact that we turned a massive loss into a 10 win season and a positive percentage seasons shows how far the suns have come since the Ablett days.

Now the expectation of the Suns now changes for next season, if they don't make finals next year it's a failure.

. He and rankine had very similar stats this year.

A few interesting selections, one that surprised me was tom papley. He and rankine had very similar stats this year.

Think they'll go Gawn and Blicavs on the bench with Witts missing out

Miller should make it though.

Congratulations to both of them being nominated.

and yet he'll still get snubbed for AA tonight in favour of 4th place

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

At least he's not leading the Cuck Of The Year leader board.

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

If he doesn’t get AA tonight it’s going to be one of the greatest injustices I can recall. Out and out deserving of the AA spot.

I'm not so sure tbh. His last 5 games or so were pretty average despite hit out numbers.

is a lock, Witts does deserve a spot but can’t see it happening

 

[Sun Stormer]

I'm not so sure tbh. His last 5 games or so were pretty average despite hit out numbers.

Agree with this - he definitely dropped off BUT Gawn had a few very quiet games during the year as well. I'd see Witts getting ahead of O'Brien though so still a good chance.

Why is Ballard not in contention for AA? Second most intercept marks in the league and second least goals conceded in the league.

He had a stellar season, deserves a hell of lot more recognition externally.

Because he doesn’t play in the VFL home state

He's had a fantastic year. Great to see him finally get acknowledged for the way he plays

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Touk named on the wing makes the AA squad. Great reward for effort for Touk and great to see him get recognition for a great season.
